Yes, after just about a year, the long wait is over. My usual apologies for not posting this chapter but more then just the normal writer's block was to blame for that.
I'm sure I mentioned that my computer was bitching out on me, first the black light screen gave out on me which meant I was without my lappy for like two weeks. Not soon after I got it back, the operating system gave up on me and I nearly lost everything I've written and drawn. Well... my writings aren't exactly all there, I got to see if I can find some converter to change the script to that of a word doc but at least the good news is that I was in the process of changing all new chapters of stories I really needed to post anyway. As a result, you have a completely different chapter then what I originally made out to begin with with all the changes I decided to make anyway.
I sorta like how it came out and I didn't. I do feel like it's rushed so sorry for the mistakes you will find but I believe I made it so that I can finally move the story on. And yes, I am finally nearing the end of this crazy ride, it feels like maybe there is only one (two at the most) chapter left and an epilogue. Can't say since I haven't started although I did try... the very end of this chapter was supposed to be the beginning of the next but I felt that it fit better here. In between my homework and studying, I'll try to get that typed up and not have everyone wait so long for it and once I'm finally done, I could get back to two stories I for sure neglected, friends with benefits and what luck. I won't try anything new till I can at least get those two rolling again cause I know it's been years since I went back on those.
Oh and btw, the very start of this was inspired by someone who drew something for me on Dokuga (http: /www. dokuga. com/ gallery?func =detail&id =4650 -remove spaces where there are spaces) so this chapter is dedicated to her.
Ch. 21 The Unexpected Visitors
"Kagome, I've suddenly realized how much of a self-centered asshole I've been." Sesshomaru said as he stepped up to her. "I am such an ignorant fool with a heart the size of and as warm as a pea frozen in liquid nitrogen. I clearly see that I am in denial but I will deny my feelings no longer."
Kagome looked at him in awe. "Do… do you mean…"
He then pulls her close as he whispered, "Please take me back, I love you."
Just as their lips touched a loud snarl ripped through the room. "FATHER!"
Toga froze, he had been caught.
The elder demon's hands closed tighter around the treasures he was holding as his son stood at the doorway grinding his fangs while glaring daggers at him. Ever the nonchalant being he is, he relaxed and sent him a gaze that silently asked what did he want?
When the young inu didn't say anything Toga spoke up. "What is it that you want pup?"
"What I want is for you to stop playing with… dolls." The last word that left Sesshomaru's mouth was said with such disgust. He heard his sire's dialogue the moment he walked in the house with his sensitive hearing and the sight his golden eyes caught before his outburst made him wish that he could purge it from his mind.
Toga held up the miniature versions of Kagome and Sesshomaru and replied in a haughty tone with his nose in the air, "They are not dolls, they are cake toppers. I had them made for the wedding I was planning but you ruined it."
Toga then was about to make the figures kiss when they were destroyed by Sesshomaru's poison whip. A pout settled on his face from having his entertainment taken away from him. If Sesshomaru was one to roll his eyes, he would have. It was clear that the demon was still very hung over losing Kagome. He still saw her as "the one" that much was clear. He just needed his father to stay off his back at least until he figured out a few things himself but he knew that the demon would be just incredibly stubborn about it. "Really father, you should act your age and stop being immature about it."
"You should act your age…" Toga mocked in a stoic tone. "Hn… maybe I should take your advice and act like an old grandfather, oh wait, I can't because a certain pup of mine refuses to procreate."
Sesshomaru's lip curled, just why the hell was the mongrel so bent on getting him laid in the first place? "There's always the half-breed, go force him to do your bidding."
Toga sighed tiredly. "There is no need for me to do so. I am more than certain that the female he is with now is the one he will eventually be his mate. How many times do I have to tell you that it is you my boy that I'm worried about?"
"There is nothing to worry about." The younger inu hissed.
"Oh but it is my duty as a father to worry about my offspring and his future."
A threatening growl came from Sesshomaru's throat as he came in his father's face within an instant. His eldest pup continues to surprise him although he didn't show it. He didn't even have time to blink with the speed said pup used.
"You, father, have no right planning a future that I do not approve of or have any part of planning. I believe you have done enough damage towards both that woman and I. Any other attempts to getting me to give you grandchildren will only end the same and most likely even worse. Did you know father, that what you've done could have gotten you arrested? Kidnapping is a felony and not even your title could protect you from court. You better pray for mercy that the miko decides not to expose the conditions you had put us in."
Well, shit, he kinda forgot about that. He was so sure that his son and the little woman would fall madly in love with each other the moment that they met that he didn't think of the consequences of what would happen should all else fail. Sesshomaru, knowing that he won the argument just as he was meant to, smirked then backed away, maybe now he would finally have the peace he so desperately needed now that he verbally put his father in his place.
After a moment of being alone, Toga sat back in his chair, a headache pounding behind his temples. Boy did he hate it when his son was right, it did bad things to his overinflated ego. There was no use in denying it though, should Kagome decide to confess, the demon lord would be in some deep shit and he wouldn't hear the end of it as he know his former mate won't allow it. She was and still is vicious when it comes to her only pup. He decided that it was best to find Kagome and really apologize for all he's done. Good thing he still had her files, he kept them just in case Sesshomaru had a change of heart.
"Heh, how can that boy have a change of heart if he doesn't have one?" Toga laughed at his own sad joke as he opened a file cabinet in his desk.
~G~K~O~D~
Kagome had been in a good mood and even set out to clean the apartment while Sango was away visiting her brother in Osaka. She had returned not too long ago from seeing Sesshomaru. Well it didn't start out that way, she had went to a café not too far from the apartment to get a bite to eat and just happened to run into him there. They ate together and chatted a bit before going their separate ways. He promised to take her to see Rin and Kagura on the weekend, from what he told her, they missed her as much as she missed them.
Things felt remotely normal to her despite all she went through… well as normal as things can get for her. One thing that changed so far was that her chick flick obsession diminished a bit. If she were to watch them like she used to, interesting dreams would follow that night. With a sigh, she knew she was doomed, her body knew what it craved and her subconscious was slowly but surely betraying her as well. A knock at the front door snapped out of her musing and she silently wondered who it could possibly be.
Stopping what she was doing, she went to the door and opened it only to gasp as she saw the face of the last person she would have expected to see.
"N-Naraku? What are you doing here? How the hell did you even find me?" Kagome asked with wide startled eyes.
"The answer to your second question is Taisho-sama. He still kept information on you for some reason although you are no longer affiliated with him." He replied as he leaned on the door post. "The answer to your first question is rather… complicated. May I please come in Kagome?"
~G~K~O~D~
Toga just arrived at Kagome's apartment fully intent on getting on her good side. He figured that it would be a long shot but anything was worth it he supposed. The old inu made his way over to her complex in no time and found her door no problem. As he knocked at the door, he took an involuntary sniff and smelled something that was quite familiar.
"That's strange, Naraku's here? Well he did seem to know Kagome, maybe they're closer than I thought." Toga muttered to himself.
The door opened and Kagome had been startled yet again as she met with another face that she didn't expect to see ever, or at least so soon. "Um, hello Taisho-sama." Kagome greeted warily.
"Hello to you too Kagome and hello to you as well Naraku." Toga replied as he looked into the apartment to see the male sitting on the couch with a cup of what smelled to be coffee. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything, if so, I'll try to speak with you another day."
Kagome opened the door wider and extended a hand to invite him in. "Oh you're not interrupting anything. We were just chatting."
Toga wanted to ask her just what were they talking about but let it drop. One way or another, he could probably get it out of Naraku eventually.
"Can I get you anything Taisho-sama?" Kagome asked as she closed the door.
"Hn, just tea and you don't have to call me Taisho-sama, at least call me Toga."
Kagome went into the kitchen while the demon sat next to the hanyou. He eyed the young man who had a very devious smirk on his face as he sipped his drink. "Why hello there Taisho-sama, let me guess, here to stop a potential lawsuit for using a forbidden spell and kidnapping?"
Toga narrowed his eyes on the spider, the man just laughed. "Relax sir, I have to let you know that Kagome really isn't like that. Yes, she has a temper of a hellcat but is too forgiving for her own good. The whole situation is probably far from her mind."
Toga sat back from his place on the couch and lifted his head going on interrogation mode. "And have you done something to her as well since you telling me this?"
"Yes, I cannot lie, and as much as I would like to try to regain what I've lost, I am satisfied with what I have."
The dog tried to decipher his words and realized that his presumption was right, they were indeed as close as he thought but Naraku must have done a great wrong. Suddenly he was on edge, his aura flaring out at the only other male in the room.
"You dogs are really overprotective, no I am not pursuing her. I mean I would still like to have her but I am not foolish. Sesshomaru would gut me for sure." Naraku whispered as he remembered that night at the club. That deadly look he received that night made him realize that his life wasn't worth trying to go after the one that got away. Nope, instead he just wanted to really clear some things between him and Kagome, even try to get advice from a woman's point of view on how to better his relationship with his wife so that he could get over his infatuation of her. With her knowledge of chick flicks and daytime television, she had been able to tell him a lot of great things.
The tai's brow's lifted at what the hanyou said. "And why would Sesshomaru do that?"
That bought the smirk back on the young man's face. His mouth opened to give him the short versions of their encounter at the club, minus the part with him stalking Kagome, and that sent the elder demon right back out the door grumbling under his breath, "Sesshomaru, you sly dog."
Kagome came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea just as the door closed. "Toga-san?"
Naraku chucked. "He had to take care of some business but I'm sure you'll see him real soon." He then looked at his watch and said, "I believe I must be going. It was nice catching up to you Kagome, see you around."
Kagome watched as he walked to the door and left. Naraku really did wish to stay longer but he knew that he would probably die if he did. He had a feeling that Kagome was in for a long night.
~G~K~O~D~
Toga tried his best to hide his grin as he strolled in the house, he sniffed out his eldest and found him to be within the sparring room most likely practicing his sword technique.
"Oh Sesshomaru…" The elder demon sang as he leaned on the door frame.
Said demon didn't slow in his strides but answered back in a, "Hn."
Toga then dropped his smile and made to check his claws and pick out the invisible dirt. "I had a very interesting visit with Kagome, I didn't expect her to have company, let alone said company to be Naraku."
That caused the young tai to falter and pause.
"My suspicions were right, they were together some time ago. From the looks of it, he might have been trying to attempt to win her once again." An evil smirk formed on his lips as he knew the next thing would either make or break what will happen next. "And she surely didn't seem to mind it."
A loud roar had been heard throughout the estate as one second a demon stood in the center of the floor and the next, just a wooden sword falling to the ground. A whoosh of wind and a silvery ball of light past Toga and the old demon couldn't help but laugh out. Yes! Victory was his, he could only bet that he would most likely have his grand-pups from his eldest in the very near future. Now, he only had to hope that he wouldn't hunt Naraku down first.
It had not even been ten minutes when there was another knock at the door except that this knocking was more like a beating down of her door. Kagome tried her hardest to make it to the door but she had been in the shower when the banging started. She threw on her clothes although she was far from dry and hurried to the door. The moment she was about to touch the knob, she heard a creaking sound just as the door came off its hinges. She screamed just as she was pinned to the wall by a hard body.
"Quiet woman, you are hurting my ears." A familiar, yet feral, voice rumbled just outside the shell of her ear.
Kagome shivered but calmed realizing who it was that was caging her in. "What is the meaning of this Sesshomaru, why the hell did you destroy my door?"
Instead of answering her, he took a few sniffs of her neck. "I smell Naraku within this room, yet you are untouched. Did he not try to do anything to you? Surely you must have purified him, if he got away, I'll hunt him down and–"
Kagome patted his shoulder not wanting to know what he was intending to do. Yes, she had been surprised at Naraku's arrival but she sensed no malevolence from him when he stopped by, only guilt. It was that that made her decide to hear him out and although she still didn't trust him, he seemed genuine enough for her to have him in her company.
Feeling her anger spike a bit, she tried to push him away as she said, "First off, there's no need for you to kill Naraku because he didn't do anything. Second off, you destroyed my door!"
The wet and rough appendage that was his tongue, quelled some of that anger as she felt him licking her neck and another, more powerful emotion was slowly taking its place. "I will deal with the door later then, as for now I would like to make sure that the hanyou, and any other, knows that you are off limits."
Kagome didn't know if she should be nervous or excited by the way he growled his last sentence just before he whisked her off her feet and made his way to her room. From the look in his crimson eyes, the beast had free reign and Sesshomaru was allowing it. It wasn't long after her bedroom door was closed for clothing to be shed and pleasurable noises to be heard.
~G~K~O~D~
He wanted to despise his father because he was the being that put him in the situation he was in. He wanted to kill Naraku because if the hanyou didn't screw up Kagome's trust then he also doubted that he would be in said situation. He wanted to be away from Kagome simply because she existed but he couldn't find it in himself to do so… at least for this once. He had been awake for what could have been hours after a brief and very peaceful sleep from the following evening. He seriously didn't want to take things as far as what had transpired, he still had much to think about and the two of them had just established some kind of bond that would have allowed him the kind of time he needed. The damn thought that his sire put in his head that the spider had even attempted to get close to her sent him into a rage and his youkai was worked into a frenzy. He forwent his car in favor of his light orb to her home, ready to have blood in his hands as soon as possible but instead of satisfying his bloodlust with a death, he settled it with something much more devious.
His demon was still riled as he looked down upon the very ravaged female sleeping atop his bare chest, the creature wanted another go at her body feeling as if it would be separated from her yet again. His beast did not give him any rest since the day they agreed to just be friends, it wanted to keep the female. Sesshomaru let out a sigh, he was sure that it would be near impossible to even try to walk out of her bedroom without having his youkai whimpering loudly within his head. The damage was done, his mark was on her stating his claim, even worse was that he rutted with her enough that his father might possibly get his wish. Oh how he already knew that his father would gloat over his victory for centuries to come.
The low moan bought his attention back to where he was, that sound was utter music to his ears and for a second he wanted to rouse her completely just as much as his youkai did and take her once again. Glossy blue eyes, pink tinged cheeks, and parted red lips welcomed him and he felt his control slip just a bit further.
"Sesshomaru, you're here." Her voice rasped with a smile. He felt pride swell within him, he caused her to go hoarse and the thought of him made her smile.
"That I am." The inu purred.
She drew small shapes in his stomach slowly, making him shiver. "I thought I was dreaming again. I was going to be so angry at myself if my mind synthesized this. I can only take so much self-inflicted torture before I go insane."
Again? She dreamt of them together on multiple occasions?
"I assure you, I am very real but consider this a dream come true if you must." He replied haughtily.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "So arrogant, you really need to fix that."
His remark was to growl at her and she laughed. A smirk formed on his lips and he chuckled along with her. Their merriment was cut short however.
"Shit! What the hell happened to the door? Kagome!"
The little miko could hear her friend's panicking voice and for that moment, she remembered about the door that her new lover damaged. "Oh yea, you have much work to be done with your personality."
Kagome made to get up and confront her friend to show her that she was alright before she stormed into her bed room and meet a sight that would embarrass all. The demon and the pain she felt in her body didn't exactly allow her to move but she gained her freedom, dressed, and went to face Sango.
Well whatdoyaknow! Toga wins and even more shockingly with the help of Naraku of all people. Who knew that he could be a good guy. Well what's to happen now that Kagome and Sesshomaru's relationship is flipped upside down?
